Greetings all,
In my quest to find more hand stitching projects to do on the lounge at night next to my husband (who has coincidentally gone interstate again) i picked out these goodies + some embroidery tape & linen cloth to create some simple festive & homey inspired framed embroideries. It's a nod to the way Red Stitch Designs uses natural colours with a hint of red & white to create beautiful things.
I'm not happy with my embroidered letters, certainly NOT kootoyoo standard, which i had to do backwards as the embroidery tape (acting as my guide) is on the back of the linen. More practise required & better laid out plans, i totally winged this & you can tell it's freestyle embroidery.
The frames are very shallow, as in, they are box frames but the glass is positioned at the back so i struggled to put it all back together with the layer of linen & thread - the tree is stuck to the outside of the glass. Oh well, the glass wasn't necessarily the feature, i just loved the idea of a frame with some stitching & a wooden ornament. Concept in progress. I have other natural shades of linen; red & white frames + different ornaments, words, felt & embroidery threads to trial. Shall keep me busy for a while. Next time i'll polish the glass too, damn finger prints!!
Happy creative spacing, love Posie
